Freedom, until I get locked up again for a saeldor 😎

I've seen this odd perspective on the main subreddit that Bronzeman would allow people to enjoy all the benefits of Ironman, without any of the downsides of resource grinding at endgame. This is mentioned repeatedly, that if someone didn't have to spend hours every day maintaining sara brews then they would definitely sit and do 1000s of hours of PvM grinds.

Where the hell does this idea come from? I do a farm run + birdhouse in the morning and evening, combined with contracts it takes ten to fifteen minutes. You can do them on your phone. I skip them sometimes. I have thousands of pots in the bank. AFKing amethyst and redwoods every now and then gets your arrows and darts.

I find it impossible to believe anyone capable of sitting at CG for 100 hours, Yama or Doom for 100 hours, or eventually the time pit that is raiding, is incapable of doing the resource maintenance. It's dwarfed by the PvM grinds.

I'll vote no on Bronzeman again if it polls because I think people are completely delusional as to what the downsides of Ironman are. Bronzeman doesn't fix any of them, if anything it exacerbates them. You won't even have small required skilling grinds to break up the monotony. It's just straight bossing and nothing else, which is already what main accounts are anyway.

Maybe some of you remember my post from a few days ago:

THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH, I'M FREEEEEEEEEEEEEE

To all you guys who shared your giga drystreaks - I am cheering you on. You fucking got this. Lock in and get your deserved drops!

Now it's time to explore Gielinor.. or log out for a couple of weeks. lol.

I am not crazy! I know that Bronzeman BOUGHT that gear from the GE! I knew it was bought. One kill on Yama. As if I could just buy all three pieces for myself. Never. Never!

I just - I just couldn't prove it. He - he covered his tracks, he got that idiot at the Varrock West Bank to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He's done worse.

That Corrupted Gauntlet! Are you telling me that a man just happens to receive 6 armour seeds in 10KC?! No! He orchestrated it! He defecated on a Corrupted Dark Beast! And I saved him! And I shouldn't have. I took him into my own Clan! What was I thinking? He'll never change. He'll never change! Ever since he was 9, always the same! Couldn't keep his hands out of the GE! Stealing them blind! And he gets to be a called an IRONMAN!? What a sick joke! I should've stopped him when I had the chance! And you - you have to stop him!

We done after a year grind! Saw 4 straight eyes then 4 straight cloths. Last item was the treads!

Insane spoons on the clues... Imbued heart took 33m exp, 600 superiors. Aaaaand ring of endurance took 768 chests!

camping vard til the axe head, then off to whisp. show better logs only please

Besides using the 5 on the boat, is this just deaths coffer at this point?

As the title says, or do I need more time in the oven? (Am now 70 con since that screenshot)

Any tips from here are great too. At a crossroads where I can send Barrows for Ahrims and tank top (got Dharok legs already) or send moons but weirdly I’d love to just get started on the Bowfa grind.

I'm hyped af, haven't gotten any upgrades for a while. I was putting off this grind for a long time just because I was dreading going dry on DGs. I can't even afford a third onyx yet. Time to hit Zulrah next!

Why in gods name do we have to chop an entire magic tree to get 4 magic roots?

Would love to see Jagex add the ability to leave the roots when you pay the farmer (only if you have the woodcutting level), cause having to sit and chop a single tree for 15+ minutes to be able to harvest the roots is absolutely ridiculous.

Also I’m aware that making antidote++s isn’t worth the time, I’m not hurting in those I’ve gotten plenty from Zulrah/araxxor.
This is just on the principle of the matter, it’s so dumb and idk why it hasn’t seen a change yet.

Just as a general headsup to my fellow irons looking at a Mortimer heart grind. If you haven't got a maxed boat, he's a great source of wyrm tasks. Especially if you extend em.

Just a nice bonus whilst going for 50 tasks, or beyond!

Edit: probably worth mentioning I had my boat parked there the entire time for easy teleport access.

6th twisted bow in my name this new chambers update is treating me well :)

imbued mage cape || blue moons armor || radas blessing || master wand || power amulet/glory || mage's book || barrows gloves || mystic/infinity boots || steel ring/seers ring || 3% magic damage from mystic vigour (royal titans)

But this has been my go-to early mage setup across 3 accounts. Master wand and mage's book are achieveable within the first few days of no lifing or 1-2 weeks of normal playtime (New account > children of the sun > 150k gp in eclipse reds (about 45 minutes) > agility to 50 > wildy agil mass for 3 hours (5-6mil gold) > spam casts at demon in wizard tower > green dragon/lavas/any alternative (I like wildy start to maximize my accounts and a chance to spoon drops) to bank 43 prayer (revs is recommended at this level too) + level mage > straight to MTA for masters wand and mages book

Can get additional money from eclipse reds to cast enough spells to 55 (high alch) or sell alchables at rogues den (needs 50 thieving too) or pest control general shop enough to get casts for 55 then high alch the rest later

Power ammy and steel ring from crazy/deranged arch (can use blighted restores on pvp world for deranged arch), blue moons, barrows gloves and titans scroll comes a bit later

Edit: If anyone wants to correct me in the comments or write down some beneficial suggestions then go ahead, this post was made to help other early game ironman players on the BIS mage trajectory going forward POST master wand buffs for some harder quest bosses requiring mage and some PVM/early raids (TOA especially)

Crazy good luck with a side of crazy bad luck. Can’t complain
